Sarah Silverman met Rory Albanese through Call of Duty
Sarah Silverman was "happily single" before she met Rory Albanese.
The 54-year-old comedy star actually thought she was "done" with dating before she met Rory during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking to People, Sarah shared: "I went to GameStop, and I hadn't played video games since Nintendo 64, but I bought a console, and I figured I would learn how to do video games.
"This is what I'm going to focus on. I'm going to sleep as late as I can. I'm going to go to bed as early as possible, and I'm going to learn video games in between and this is going to be my life."
Sarah kept herself busy during the pandemic by learning to play 'Call of Duty: World War II', and her passion for gaming led her to Rory.
She explained: "Rory who I knew, but I didn't remember what he looked like, we had hung out once. We knew each other through comedy a little bit, but I didn't really know him.
"He direct messaged me and was like, 'I play that. Do you have headphones?' I said, 'Yes, but I don't know how to do it.' And he talked me through it. And so every night, I'd play Call of Duty with Rory Albanese."
At the start, Sarah never actually imagined dating Rory, as she was "very peacefully and happily single" at the time.
She said: "I felt done, to be honest. You just can't predict anything! You never know what's around the corner."
Sarah has actually learned some important life lessons through her love life.
Asked to reveal the biggest lesson she's learned, Sarah replied: "It's human nature to be afraid of the unknown, but don't waste anxiety on the unknown. The unknown is thrilling. We really should just be on the edge of our seat."
Sarah split from actor Michael Sheen in late 2017. But the actress previously revealed that they've remained good friends.
During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', Sarah shared: "I was with Michael. We broke up over Christmas. He moved back to the UK and his life is really there and my life is really not there, but I love him to pieces."

Katrina Bowden pregnant
Katrina Bowden is pregnant. The '30 Rock' actress and her musician husband, Adam Taylor, 33, are expecting their first child together and Katrina, 36, says the pregnancy has brought them even closer. She told PEOPLE: 'It definitely has brought us closer together. In the beginning, it was a little bit scary, and it's still a little bit scary because it's something so unknown and so different. It brought us closer together talking about how we want to parent, names, just preparing for something that we've never had to think about before, so it's definitely bonded us in a way that we've never bonded before." Katrina discovered she was pregnant while Adam was away on a ski trip with friends, because she was so excited she couldn't wait to take the test. She explained: "Adam was on a ski trip with his friends, and I took a test. I was going to wait until he got home, but I couldn't wait," she shares. "Then, I told him when he got home, and we were both very excited, so ... I was really hard to keep it to myself for a full day. "We had just started trying, so we didn't expect it to happen so fast. It was really surprising and exciting. [Taylor] was very excited and immediately wanted to tell everybody." And, the couple are already making travel plans for when the baby arrives. Katrina said: 'We really plan to, in the beginning [during] the first year, try to travel just to get the baby used to being in new places and around different environments. We want to try to do a big trip or a good, fun vacation type of trip, the two of us with the baby, and then just immerse the baby in something new and something different and different experiences." The couple tied the knot in Hawaii in November 2024.

Taylor Swift owns master recordings 'in spite of' Scooter Braun
Taylor Swift now owns her master recordings 'in spite of Scooter Braun, not because of him'. The 35-year-old singer / songwriter revealed in an emotional open letter to fans on her website that she had recently bought back the rights to her first six albums, which Braun acquired from her former record label, Big Machine Records, in 2019. In 2020, Braun went on to sell them to private equity firm Shamrock Capital and although it was recently claimed the music manager had 'encouraged' Shamrock Capital to make a deal with Taylor, he was not involved in the recent acquisition. A source told PEOPLE: 'Contrary to a previous false report, there was no outside party who 'encouraged' this sale. All rightful credit for this opportunity should go to the partners at Shamrock Capital and Taylor's Nashville-based management team only. Taylor now owns all of her music, and this moment finally happened in spite of Scooter Braun, not because of him.' After Scooter bought the rights to her music, Taylor decided to re-record her previous albums, calling them 'Taylor's Version'. And, she revealed in her message to fans that the huge success of her 'Eras' tour and the new versions of her albums, actually helped her to buy back her music. She wrote: "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it. To my fans, you know how important this has been to me - so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released 4 of my albums, calling them Taylor's Version. The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music. I can't thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now. '"I'm extremely hearted by the conversations this saga has reignited within my industry among artists and fans. Every time a new artist tells me they negotiated to own their master recordings in their record contract because of this fight, I'm reminded of how important it was for all of this to happen. Thank you for being curious about something that used to be thought of as too industry-centric for broad discussion. You'll never know how much it means to me that you cared. Every single bit of it counted, and ended us up here."

Elizabeth Banks says she doesn't get much sleep as a working mom
Elizabeth Banks struggles to find time to sleep as a busy mother. The 51-year-old actress has sons Felix, 14, as well as 12-year-old Magnus with her husband Max Handelman, and while she loves to lie in bed as long as possible, it's sometimes impossible because of her children's schedule and she often resorts to going to sleep before them just to get enough rest. She told PEOPLE: "I'll go to bed late if I can sleep in. But how often does a working mom get to sleep in? Sleep has become a determinant of so much of my daily life. My mood is improved, my ability to work is improved, my focus is improved if I have a good night's sleep. What that means to me is seven to eight hours minimum. I'm sort of at the mercy of my kids' schedule. If I'm going to get up with the kids and have that quality time with them in the morning, which I do love, then I have to go to bed earlier. There are nights where I'm in bed before my kids—'Good night. I'm done parenting!' I want to be in bed by 10 at the latest because I wake up at six to six-thirty." In the event that she struggles to fall asleep, the 'Better Sister' star turns to an audiobook and will often end up listening again in the morning so she can understand the content of the work if it has done the trick in sending her off for the night. She said: "If I'm feeling like it's hard to fall asleep, I'll listen to an audiobook. I absolutely love 'My Name is Barbra', the Barbra Streisand book, and it's almost 50 hours long. I loved listening to that. But don't want to imply that she "puts me to sleep"! She does not. I'll go back and re-listen in the morning. But just the vibe of somebody talking to me, telling me a story. It's like you're a child again."
